My friends call me the Mayor.
My enemies don't call me anything.  'Cuz they're all dead.

The woman who called totally played me too. She went into some "we really appreciate your time, thank you for your application, we thought you were very qualified" before finishing with "and we'd like to offer you the job."

I keep thinking I must have misunderstood somehow and I didn't get it, but you don't tell the person you're rejecting what the salary and start date are.

(it is an amount of money that sounds insane to me, but I'm told in NYC is not very much.)

Me too!

My friend had a lead on a surprisingly cheap place (living with 4 other guys with 1 bathroom, south of Prospect Park) but the spot had already been taken. Luckily I have a month to obsess about finding a place.

I keep having these little aftershocks of stunned happiness when I realize more things. I can sell my car! I can go home for the whole week for Thanksgiving! (the job starts the last week of November or first of December)

The apartment search is already stressing me the f out though. All of my other apartment desires are falling by the wayside, I just want to live with someone I like, and without a hellish commute.

Do you guys want to take over/under on how long I work there before impostor syndrome sets in?

Well, it already kind of is, because they never sent me the information they said they were sending me, or called me back about when I can come sign the contract. WHAT IF IT'S ALL A MISTAKE.

Congratulations!  You're gonna do great.  You'll make mistakes, but they will a) make you better at what you do and b) won't spell the end of your career or the death knell of your company. In my experience, it isn't the people who care too much that get themselves fired.

I'll take him down. Don't worry.

Maybe I'm going up Wednesday to look at a ridiculous hipster apartment in a loft. This place looks super over the top but it's affordable and a 4 month lease... so if I hate it i can find someplace to move.

The very first place I visited was great and the people liked me and want me to move in. I'm taking it and not second guessing. It's tiny and gorgeous and reasonably placed  for the area... done.

Shit is already getting overly complicated with starting the job, moving, signing lease, etc. The outgoing roommate had said she'd be out before the end of the month, but it turns out meant meant a day or two early max. The job is being incredibly slow to give me any confirmation of anything, a start date, etc. Which makes it difficult to sign a lease-- I can't confirm my salary, when I'll start, or even that I've signed a contract.

Meanwhile my New Yorker former roommate is giving me shit about where I am moving and how much I'm paying. Come on dude.
